President Donald Trump slammed the “fake news” media’s reporting on the G7 summit in a Friday tweet.

Trump specifically addressed reports that he did not get along with other world leaders like Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau and German Chancellor Angela Merkel at the 2018 G7 Summit.

“The Fake News Media said that I did not get along with other Leaders at the #G7Summit in Canada,” Trump wrote on Twitter. “They are once again, WRONG!”

Trump capped off the tweet with four photos of himself smiling and shaking hands with various world leaders.

The president responded to similar criticism during the G7 Summit when a reporter asked about the alleged tensions between the leaders. When Trump found out the reporter was from CNN, he called the network “the worst” and asserted that the relationship with other leaders was at a “10.”
